My 2020 review! - beat 37 games in total!
Hello all – and welcome to a (slightly overdue) review of my year in gaming! As always, I first want to thank the sub. I maintained motivation to continue to work through a significant chunk of my backlog throughout the year, and even found the chance to play a few newer releases as well. I did make a list of 12 specific games I wanted to play back in January last year, but abandoned as it just felt a bit restrictive, which is totally at odds with the fun that gaming is supposed to be about! I then just focused on playing what I felt like, making sure to consider all the games I owned already before spending on something new. A combination of increased motivation and more spare time due to - well, you know what - I managed to maintain steady progress throughout the year and beat 37 games in total, just shy of the 40 I beat last year. This did, however, include a fair few longer titles which I've typically been averse to in previous years where I tended to stick more to 10-15 hour campaigns. In broad terms, there were three general highlights to my year:
Discovering my love of a challenge - specifically in beating all the Dark Souls games, Bloodborne and Sekiro, but also in finding I often have more fun when I bump regular games up to harder difficulties - which I did in The Last of Us (1+2), Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Ghost of Tsushima
Discovering the 'immersive sim' genre - Deus Ex: Human Revolution was an incredible find for me this year, having previously pretty much ignored the series, and it sparked an interest in immersive sims which led to me discovering several new games to try
Catching up on my 'missed generation', i.e. the PS3/360 era. Back then I only had a Wii, and many quality titles completely passed me by, so it was great to catch up on some of them. Highlights include the above mentioned Dark Souls and Deus Ex:HR, as well as the Bioshock series, Sleeping Dogs, Dishonored, Arkham City and Dead Space
I thought I may as well copy in my brief thoughts on all the games I played this year. Mostly these are just copied from when I originally posted them in my monthly updates, but in some cases I’ve altered the review if I felt that my opinion had changed significantly since I’d played the game. In some cases I've just posted an abbreviated version... if for some reason you do give a shit about what I think you can dig through my post history on the sub! Here are my mini-reviews for everything I beat in 2020: Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PS4) – absolutely incredible experience. Played it through 5 times pretty much back to back and it gets an extra special place in my heart for opening my eyes to the wonders of FromSoftware and challenging games in general – ★★★★★ Bloodborne (PS4) – played this straight after Sekiro and loved the combat, world design and atmosphere. Bosses were a bit hit and miss but overall a great experience - ★★★★ Yakuza 0 (PC) - this was terrific... I probably started back in October last year, and very slowly made my way through until eventually reaching the end after ~60 hours of play. At one point I went about 15 hours without progressing the story because I was so engrossed with some of the mini-games. The gameplay is pretty basic, although the combat was very satisfying. The story itself could get a little confusing at times, but for the most part it was quite character driven which kept me invested even when I wasn't totally sure about all of the political intricacies going on in the background - ★★★★ Dark Souls Remastered (PC) – finally hopped on the Dark Souls train nearly a decade late, but still it’s probably one of the greatest gaming experiences I’ve ever had. So many vivid memories of my journey through such an intricately designed, haunting world. Stumbling across the great hollow – and subsequently ash lake - in my desperation to find a bonfire (apparently I missed one at the bottom of blighttown) might be one of my most incredible gaming memories ever. The game lived up to the ‘tough but fair’ reputation I’d heard of and I never felt like giving up. Only hiccup was the archers in Anor Londo which made me so angry I kicked a hole in the wall, resulting in some awkward email exchanges with the landlord, but all’s well that end’s well - we got the hole patched up, didn't get kicked out, and I beat the game a few days later – ★★★★★ A Plague Tale: Innocence (PS4) - This was an okay game, especially considering it came from a small studio. The gameplay switches between some straightforward stealth, and puzzles that involve manipulating massive swarms of rats with light sources. Both were fine, but I thought there was some missed potential with the puzzles. The game in general is quite easy, and in the middle it was almost boring, but towards the end it became a bit more challenging and actually really fun In any case, it's actually quite a narrative focused game, which perhaps explains the lack of complexity in the gameplay, and it does at least deliver on that front with a creative, well written story that ensured I kept playing, even when the game itself was quite slow - ★★ Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled (PS4) - got this to play with my friends whilst we're all on lockdown, and managed to get 100% in the story mode. The story mode is alright, but mainly just a way to learn some of the tracks and unlock a few customisable options. It's a fun game - I think it's ridiculously high skill ceiling, meaning that even after 50 or so hours of play you're still getting obliterated online, which with limited features and support is probably not worth the effort, but it was a fun diversion at the time - ★★★ Dark Souls II (PC) – a strange, but ultimately very enjoyable experience. I went into this knowing nothing other that it’s considered the ‘black sheep’ of the franchise, but it wasn’t until after I beat it I really got why that is. My sense for the first half of the game was how overwhelming it was – so many different directions to go and so much to keep track of – and the volume of enemies in certain areas produced some huge difficulty spikes throughout. I felt this lost the ‘tough but fair’ mantra on a few occasions, with some rooms or areas taking several hours for me to progress through. The bosses as well were definitely a case of quantity over quality. Still, I did really enjoy most of the time with the game, and I was well and truly hooked for the 60 hours it took to beat it - ★★★★ Final Fantasy VII Remake (PS4) – This was the first Final Fantasy game I ever finished, and one of the few RPGs I’ve played that I actually enjoyed all the way through. I had played the beginning of the original, so I was familiar with the events of this game without necessarily having any kind of nostalgia or expectations. Visually I thought they did a great job of bringing those PS1 era pre rendered backgrounds into the HD era. The highlight for me though was the combat. It was super satisfying, with a perfect balance of broader strategy/preparation and making decisions on the fly in the heat of battle. A few chapters in the middle portion of the game the game felt really slow and stretched out - I did like that they’d clearly gone above and beyond in developing the world, but adding in long empty corridors, tedious puzzles and “platforming” really did not help the experience. Overall though, great game and hopefully the next instalment can live up to the potential shown here - ★★★ Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (PC) – picked this up on a whim since it’d been a while since I’d had my Metroidvania fix. The first half of the game is great, a steady stream of new abilities and great enemy variety pulled me through. I slowly grew tired of it though, as all the small issues I’d noticed at the beginning became more and more irritating. Still though, I did get a few fun hours out of this, and some of the songs were stuck in my head for a while, so it wasn’t all bad – ★★ Horizon Zero Dawn (PS4) – I held off on this game for a while as I’d kind of dismissed it as yet another open world action RPG in a new coat of paint. For the most part, that’s what it is, but I’m still really glad I played it. The combat is really fun and gets better as you unlock new weapons, and uncovering the mysteries of the “post-post-apocalyptic” world was really compelling. Visually it's one of the most impressive games I think I've ever seen. I thought the crafting, levelling system and skill tree were a bit tacked on, but that’s something of a nitpick, and somewhat undermined by the fact that I did find every collectible to get the platinum anyway. I really liked the game overall, from the exciting combat, to the stunning visuals, to the intriguing lore, and I’m interested to see where they take the story in the sequel - ★★★ Final Fantasy XV (PS4) – had a pretty fun time with this game. It felt like a proper road trip which was helped by the characters feeling genuinely likeable, and some impressive visuals. The game itself is pretty weird though. Nothing you do really matters, since if you just buy 99 potions you basically can’t die, so experimenting with all the different weapons and strategies never felt worth it. It also removes any motivation to do side quests, but they weren’t especially interesting anyway. Still, it was a good ride and aside from a late game chapter which I can only describe as an indefensible piece of trash, an enjoyable if disjointed experience - ★★ Control (PS4) – I was initially attracted to this game by a few Metroid comparisons I’d seen, and in that regard it fell short, but it’s still a good game in its own right. The combat was super satisfying and the setting and the story did not hold back on the weirdness. I had a few serious framerate drops when there were a lot of enemies on screen, which ultimately did detract from my enjoyment a bit, but your mileage may vary (for reference I played on a 3.5-year old PS4 slim). The most fun I had was actually after I beat the main story. The side quests had some really good boss fights in there and helped add context to the world, and I ended up getting the platinum trophy - ★★★ Batman: Arkham City (PS4) – I don’t really know why it’s taken me so long to play this, but I have now and it was absolutely superb, one of the best I’ve played this year. I played Arkham Asylum last year and loved it, but I had worries that the switch to open world would sacrifice some of what made that game so good in favour of just having more content, but I needn’t have been concerned. The main story was one of the most compelling I’ve experienced in a game recently, and the combat, stealth rooms and Zelda-dungeon-like item based puzzles all alternate wonderfully to ensure I was basically never bored. Even the side missions were interesting and introduced their own unique gameplay twists. The riddler trophies were as addicting as always to pick up and ensured there was always something fun to do when travelling between mission locations - ★★★★ Batman: Arkham Knight (PS4) – a great game and a satisfying way to round out a superb series. It carries over everything that makes the previous games great – simple but satisfying combat, exciting stealth encounters and plenty of Zelda-like environmental puzzles – but the new additions in this game improve all of that. The combat is more fluid with a whole bunch of new abilities and animations, the stealth sections are made infinitely more dynamic by the multi-fear takedown, and the puzzles are as good as ever. The riddler trophies in particular are much improved – pretty much all of them require some level of thought to get compared to previous games where they were often extremely basic to figure out. Plotwise, it was engaging throughout, although I never found it reached the heights of Arkham City. The Joker’s inclusion as a memory(?) felt a bit forced - like they regretted killing him off in the last game - but that’s understandable since he is such a great character - ★★★★ The Last of Us Remastered (PS4) [REPLAY] – Decided to replay this in preparation for Part II. Previously I had played it on the Normal difficulty and found it way too easy, so I stuck it on hard and found it much more enjoyable. I’d actually forgotten how much shit happens in this game, the pacing is so good it never feels like a drag. The scenarios are tense throughout, although never truly mindblowing On the surface it’s a relatively simple story, but the development of the relationship between Joel and Ellie is the driving force and is compelling right up to the end. It’s close to perfect, although I’m still not a huge fan of the winter section from a story perspective. In terms of gameplay, it’s probably the most fun area – controlling Ellie with her reduced abilities really ramps up the tension, the section where you crawl through a blizzard is great, and I found the boss fight at the end fun. However, it feels a bit jarring to have an outright villain given the morally ambiguity of the actions from the rest of the characters Still, it’s a classic – a bit limited on the gameplay front but more than made up for with a simple story with emotional depth - ★★★ Wreckfest (PS4) – been playing this with a friend online. The single player is actually really good, but primarily functions as a method of unlocking the vehicles you need to compete online. It’s probably the most fun I’ve ever had in an online racing game. Being aggressive and booting other players off the track is a genuinely viable strategy, and there’s a glorious satisfaction in nailing someone into the wall on the final corner. It also solves an issue with many racing games whereby, if you fuckup early on you have to just slog it out until the next race for a chance to win. This is still true to an extent, but now you have the perfectly legitimate option of just going backwards round the track trying to destroy the leaders, which can be just as fun as fighting for victory - ★★★ Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (PS4) – I know it’s the same engine as Uncharted 4, but a lot of the time it felt a little off. Aiming didn’t feel as snappy, and the platforming wasn’t quite as reliable as I’d hoped. It’s still a worthy addition to the series - Nadine and Chloe are both likeable in their on way, and there’s a few great set pieces in there. The plot is generic Uncharted fare, but you do get to ride an elephant - ★★ The Last of Us Part II (PS4) – check my post history if you want my longer thoughts on this game but the short version is that I thought it was great. Ellie is so much more dynamic than Joel was in TLOU1, with several new tricks up her sleeve. She can go prone, lay trap mines and actually dodge melee attacks, all of which added a real sense of improvisation to the tougher encounters in the game. Whilst the scenarios that required these new moves were exciting, they were also quite sparse, particularly in the first half of the game. There was a lot of walking around and light puzzling, and a bunch of less exciting mini-encounters before you get to the really good stuff. Not that this stuff was bad, but the ratio of super open exciting stealth-combat arena to slow-paced walking and talking meant that the game felt like it wasn’t playing to its strength a lot of the time. There’s a lot to go into with the story, but the ultimately I enjoyed it and found it engaging through to the end – it wasn’t a mindblowing masterpiece and I thought they tried a bit too hard to “subvert expectations” at times, but it was a good ride - ★★★ Until Dawn (PS4) – I was surprised by how much fun this was. The story was a pretty good twist on the standard cabin in the woods type drama, the quality of the voice acting helped me to feel invested in the characters, and whilst the gameplay was simple, the QTEs were fun and added a lot of tension to the experience. Also, all the choices felt meaningful and, unlike certain similar games (looking at you Detroit: Become Human), it was genuinely fun to see the consequences of your actions. Unfortunately it looks like the developers’ more recent efforts have fallen flat but this was definitely a worthwhile experience - ★★★ Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut (PC) – This game was a revelation for me. Within the first few hours I was completely hooked, a feeling that lasted for the full 30 or so hours it took to beat the game. The game is just amazing. The mission structure, level design, upgrade system and weapon/item variety all come together to create an experience greater than its already substantial parts. Even the dialog wheels were fun! I could go on… the world, the visuals, the music was great and it was one of the few games where I actually bothered to read all the little notes you find. The narrative was pretty good as well, although sometimes a bit difficult to follow and with some dodgy voice acting along the way. All in all I was absolutely delighted with this game, I’d honestly rate it amongst the best games I’ve ever played Similarly to Sekiro, it will always be a special game for me for opening my eyes to a new ‘genre’ – in this case the immersive sim, which I have subsequently begun to dig into – ★★★★★ Sleeping Dogs (PS4) – Another surprisingly great game. The game very closely follows the GTA structure, and while it doesn’t do anything major to differentiate itself from Rockstar’s bigger budget hits, it does do a lot of little things that made it, in some ways at least, better than the GTA series. The melee combat is actually fun, the narrative is really engaging and, because of its shorter length, seems to have a lot more focus. Most appreciated was that all the tedium of GTA games has just been entirely removed here. If a mission requires you to drive somewhere you’ll actually start the mission in a car. Collectibles actually appear on the map (once you do certain side activites). Setting a waypoint for your next mission just requires clicking the analog stick. The game always gives you the weapons you need for each mission. So many nice little touches like this mean that the whole experience felt so much more seamless compared to GTA, which I’ve always thought had a tendency to sacrifice a smooth gameplay experience in the name of ‘realism’. It's certainly not as big and bombastic as the best GTA games, and there’s a lot less to do on the side, but the content it does have is, in my opinion, better than the equivalent in any GTA game - ★★★ Bioshock (PS4) – I did try this a few years back but dropped it fairly early on. In the intervening time I spoiled myself on the story and the big twist as I’d kind of written off the idea that I’d actually play it myself, but having the trilogy for free on PS Plus recently I thought I‘d give it another go. Turns out that one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time is, in fact, really good. Knowing the big plot twist obviously took away from one dramatic moment but there was a lot more to the story that I wasn’t aware of previously, and uncovering all the mysteries of Rapture was compelling right to the end. It’s possibly one of the best and most creative settings I’ve ever seen in a game. I played the Remastered version, and visually it was stunning. I was really immersed in the world, and the various different areas were each impressive their own right. On the gameplay side, it’s a lot of fun once you get past the first few hours. At the start, you have very few abilities and there were some weird design choices that made the game incredibly frustrating until you’ve got some good upgrades, but once you’re past that it really is an incredible game - ★★★★ Bioshock 2 (PS4) – Thought I would jump straight into this after beating the first. The first half of this game is a bit frustrating – to my horror they kept the health system exactly the same as the first which made the opening couple of hours a little rough, but the game is mercifully a bit more forthcoming with cash and health packs this time. Also, nothing really happens from a story perspective for a good 5-6 hours. It does eventually pick up though, both in terms of story and gameplay. The story itself actually turns out to be just as good as the first, taking some pretty weird turns I didn’t expect and wrapping up in a very satisfying way. The gameplay builds well on the foundations of the first game, with newer weapons, improved plasmids, and a much better hacking minigame. All in all a very fun time I also went on to beat the Minerva’s Den DLC the next day too which was fantastic - ★★★ Bioshock Infinite (PS4) – went into this one without too much being spoiled for me… all I really knew was that the setting had changed to a city in the sky and the gameplay was much closer to a traditional shooter. Similar to when I played all the MGS games last year I had an idea that there was some crazy shit going on in this game but it still managed to surprise me – although I did figure out the final twist a good few hours before the end I won’t go into the story too much more but I really enjoyed it. It touched on a lot of interesting themes and wrapped them up in the kind of weird mystery sci-fi I tend to love in other forms of media but rarely see done well in games. Columbia was a beautiful place to explore and the bright colours were wonderful, especially coming out of 2 games + a DLC of dark, dingy underwater corridors. The gameplay itself was okay, obviously being more of a straight shooter there wasn’t as much scope for creativity, but there was a good range of abilities to keep things interesting. It was much, much easier than the other two games as well - Ordinarily this might have disappointed me but it was actually nice to be able to kick back and just enjoy the ride - ★★★ Dishonored (PC) – I played this on the back of having enjoyed Deus Ex: Human Revolution so much, as it seemed to have a similar approach in terms of freedom in how you approach things. It was definitely a worthwhile experience – the variety of the levels was great and succeeding was always satisfying no matter how you pulled it off. The House of Pleasure and Last Party missions were both particularly memorable. I did think the abilities you could unlock felt a bit limited, and the way the game was broken up into separate missions meant it lacked the addictiveness you might get in an open-world or metroidvania structure, but it was good fun and I’m definitely going to check out the second at some point - ★★★ Disco Elysium (PC) – I bought this on a whim, having pretty much no experience whatsoever in this type of game, or indeed most kinds of RPG, but ended up really enjoying it. The slow-paced nature of the game took some getting used to, and after the first 8 hours I actually stopped playing for a good couple of months until I eventually picked it back up again, but when I did resume it really sucked me in. The world and the characters were all pretty interesting, and at times it was genuinely hilarious but I mostly enjoyed how the levelling system worked with your attributes all being different parts of your psyche, and they’d talk to you and give you advice throughout the game. The game itself was quite satisfying to work through as well, it felt a bit like the classic point-and-click but without the frustratingly obscure puzzle solutions – instead you can just explore elsewhere and return when you’ve upgraded an ability or found a key item. I did feel like towards the end of the game you were just going through the motions, and opportunities to express yourself through the dialogue became less frequent, but this wasn’t a major drawback and it was somewhat offset by the fact you were then dealing with the consequences of the choices you’d made earlier. All in all an interesting game, one I’m glad I took a chance on, but I doubt I’ll be digging any deeper into the ‘CRPG’ genre - ★★★ What Remains of Edith Finch (PC) – an interesting way to spend my bank holiday afternoon. A 2 hour ‘walking simulator’, another genre that I’ve not really explored, but it was a really nice game. I didn’t blow my mind or anything, but I was really impressed with how much variety – both visually, thematically, and in terms of gameplay – they managed to cram in to the experience whilst still feeling totally organic. As with Disco Elysium, I don’t really feel compelled to check out any similar games, but still felt it was a worthwhile experience and one I’m glad I had - ★★★ Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 (PS4) - this is probably my game of the year. I still rank the original THPS2 as one of my all time favourites, and when this was announced I was almost overwhelmed with excitement - particularly as it previously seemed like the series was pretty much dead. The game itself is incredible - effectively bringing a refined, streamlined version of the gameplay from the later games to beautifully reconstructed levels from the first two. All the gaps and goals were still there, and it can't be understated how massive it was for them to get most of the old soundtrack on there as well. The introduction of a ton of new challenges, high scores and, of course, online play means I'll likely be playing this for a long long time, especially if they do what the people want and bring in THPS3 levels as DLC – ★★★★★ Metro 2033 Redux (PC) - A pretty fun game, although without too much depth in gameplay terms. The atmosphere here was genuinely oppressive, and I really liked the slow paced nature of the levels, especially when contrasted with the dopamine overload of other modern shooters. Have heard positive things about the sequels so will hopefully have a chance to give them a go in the coming year - ★★★ Ghost of Tsushima (PS4) - Essentially another one of these open world checklist type games, but the combat, story and side activities were all slightly better than you usually see. The 'following the wind' was interesting at first, but functionally not much different from following a way point so the novelty wore off after a few hours. I kind of wish the game had been a bit more linear and focused as the main story is actually quite good, but I kind of ruined the pacing for myself due to my completionist tendencies. Not really a complaint against the game itself I suppose, and I did overall enjoy my time, even if I did bog myself down running around chasing foxes for hours - ★★★ Dark Souls III (PC) - A superb end to an incredible series. The gameplay was at its most refined, the enemy variety was the best it's been and some of the bosses were absolutely incredible - a welcome change from the quantity over quality approach DS2 had. The difficulty I think was tougher but fairer than the previous games - Essentially the bosses were harder and there fewer bullshit traps and ambushes in between, which I quite liked I felt like progression could be a bit linear at times, for the first 25-30 hours there was only really one direction I had to go, whereas in the older titles I usually had two or three different routes to prod at. It opened up a bit towards the end as I discovered a few secret areas and tried the DLC, and ultimately I loved my time with this game. It's also another to tick off from the wider Soulsborne series which I've played all of this year (except Demon's Souls, waiting to get a PS5!). Difficult to say how I'd rank them, the first Dark Souls is probably my favourite, it felt most like a genuine adventure, but they're all absolutely incredible games – ★★★★ Yakuza Kiwami (PC) - A bit of a weird one. It looks and plays just like Yakuza 0, which I loved, but I occasionally notice the very '2005' DNA of the game coming through, with the odd tedious fetch sequence, and some pretty underwhelming side stories. I started out trying to do quite a lot of stuff on the side, but quickly realised most of it was just a rehash of what was in Yakuza 0, which I didn't really fancy doing again. I was also wary of getting bogged down in the world like I did for Ghost of Tsushima, especially given that the main story here was actually very, very good. A slow start and a weird midgame chapter aside, the story here was a really tight, focused experience and I was always genuinely excited to see what happened next. The last couple of chapters were absolutely gripping and I'm definitely going to check out Yakuza Kiwami 2 some time to see where it goes next - ★★★ Dead Space (PC) – honestly found this a bit of a slog. It was a nice twist on the survival horror, and the atmosphere and story were good, but the levels and missions got pretty repetitive and the moment to moment gameplay was a bit dull. Running out of ammo was frequent which – I get it, it’s a survival horror - for whatever reason it just irritated me in this game. The story was good though, and the payoff at the end made me glad I stuck with it, but any possible interest I had in the sequels was extinguished long before that point - ★★ GRIS (PC) – absolutely stunning, if brief, experience. Visually this game is one of the most beautiful I’ve played, and there was actually a bit of depth in some of the puzzles, which kept me engaged throughout its runtime. I’ve heard people say that the story made them cry, but honestly I found it too abstract to even guess what was happening, let alone have it elicit a strong emotional response. Still though, a nice way to spend 4 hours - ★★★ Final Fantasy VII (Switch) – decided to go back an experience the original as I couldn’t wait for the remake sequels to see what was gonna happen (plus I realised that they were gonna shake things up in terms of the story anyway). I really loved this game, a really good mix of high concept fantasy sci-fi and more emotional personal stories. The gameplay modifiers (turning off random encounters/speeding up the game) were really helpful in getting me through what I think is the first non-Pokemon JRPG I’ve ever beaten - ★★★ Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (PS4) – this was a pleasant surprise… the level design and exploration were really enjoyable, and the combat was fun and strategic, if a bit unwieldly at times. I’m not a massive Star Wars fan outside of the films themselves, so didn’t have any particular hopes or expectations with regards to the story, but found this to be a worthy addition to the Star Wars canon that I know- ★★★ Super Mario Galaxy (Switch) [REPLAY] – I rate this as my favourite game of all time and replaying it on Switch has done nothing to change that. It’s not quite as massive as I remember it being over a decade ago, but this time round I appreciated more the sheer variety and creativity in the levels, backed by one of the greatest soundtracks in video game history. It was also amazing to play it in full HD for the first time and, despite a few minor issues with the pointer controls, I think this is now the definitive version of the game – ★★★★★ And that's it. As for what's next, I'll make a post soon outlining my challenge for 2021 - haven't decided on what it will be but I'm hoping to keep my gaming varied so potentially something around beating games from different genres. In the meantime I'll also make a 'bonus' post of all the other games I played this year but didn't beat - either because I dropped them, put them on hold or just they're not the type of game that can be 'beaten'. In gaming terms, I've got a couple currrently on the go, both of which I'm really enjoying and will share my thoughts here once I'm done:
Paper Mario: Origami King (Switch)
Prey (PC)
And that's it, thanks for reading, and happy gaming!
A list of every JRPG coming out/potentially coming out for 2020 that I could find
Hello y'all. I was looking up the jrpg releases for 2020 last week and holy hell this year is a juggernaut for jrpgs. I have compiled a list with dates of release or TBA, a video link, and a brief description of what they are if I know anything about the game. Given how long this will be, I'm not going to be editing it for grammar so apologies in advance. Now, let's get on with this shall we. January: Well, we are already mid way thru Jan and a few titles have already dropped but lets just list them out right now.
Super Robot War X (Jan. 10) (Switch/PC) (SRPG). Visually its not very impressive but the series has always had solid gameplay, not inferior to FE imo on that particular aspect. Its basically a gundam mashup, tho this one has lelouch and guren lagunn in it as well. Basically its what happens if all those gundams and gundam pilots from all those gundam animes got put into one game with some original characters and a original story. And somehow, the series have always made it work. I haven;t played this one yet, but from previous experience you dont really need to know the original anime of these characters and the series can be played standalone with each game as its own.
Original Gematsu JP announcement trailer from 2 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlW-hAwJ9ZE 2) Atelier Dust Trilogy (PC/Switch/PS4). So this one doesn't require much explanation. It's atelier dusk. It's already out I believe. Some people would argue that it is the best or second best trilogy of the series. Cute characters doing cute stuff. Pretty intense time/resource simulator if you are trying to go above and beyond but if you just want to do as much as you need/want and pass the game then it can be a casual but enjoyable experience. Light hearted story as all ateliers are mostly (cough cough iris), tho this trilogy does have a slightly gloomier setting/story. Nice place to start if you are new to the series. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9hWacAkAAA 3) Orangeblood (PC) (Jan.14). So this is a game that almost no one has heard about lol. Seems like a japanese INDIE. Retro styled turn base. Seems really interesting. I've tried looking up the devs grayfax software but I haven't really found anything substantial. It seems like this might actually be a one man job or at least that of a very small team tho I can't be sure. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNhaaJgPCD8 4) Ephemeral Tale (Jan. 14) (EARLY ACCESS). Honestly, I know nothing about this one. Its a retro style turn base game for sure, but it's just entered early access so who knows how it will turn out. Steam Page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1204320/Ephemeral_Tale/ 5) Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls (PC) (Jan 15). This is a straight up dungeon crawler, the classic kind. Nothing groundbreaking but if you want a classic styled relatively difficult dungeon crawler this may be for you. Developed by Acquire and localized by Xseed. Funny enough, gamespot had a review which said that this game lacked an automap feature. They were wrong lol. That being said, it needs to be unlocked first. The process can require some effort so I can see how they may have missed it if they were just rushing thru it for a review. Thus, some pen and paper may be necessary. Like I said, this is of that old school design choice. Just one word of advice, make sure you pay attention where you are going, its super easy to get turned around in this game. Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5xKt_M8zGQ 6) The Alliance Alive HD Remaster (PC) (Jan 16). This is honestly a good game. It started out as a 3ds title and it definitely shows in the visuals. The super oversimplified version of the story is, the world is fucked, lets try and fix it. I know, I know, but honestly its a good story, with good characters. The battle system is interesting. Rather than focusing on getting levels for the characters, you get levels for your skills, and some skills are tied to your weapon usage. There's other stuff too like awakening talents. You basically have to do character building manually. It can be a bit jarring at first and the game can get difficult in the 2nd half but if you put in the time to learn the system there can be a lot of fun to be had. Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSx2nEKCrQE 7) Tokyo Mirage Session FE Encore. (Switch) (Jan 17). I don't know much about this game except its a FE x SMT with a slice of persona? Honestly, you are better off asking some other redditor than me, but I do plan on getting it cause from what I've been told the gameplay is actually good and the story is satisfactory. 8) Utwarerumono Trilogy (Jan 23 and TBA) (PC): This is a very, very dialogue heavy series. Did I mention it was very dialogue heavy? Its basically a visual novel, but every chapter ends on a srpg combat map. There's also free battles. The battles aren't really that hard, and you can always grind it out on the free maps but my experience is that in the hard maps you can definitely strategize it. It's definitely a story focused, story first type of game. It has a interconnected story, politics, romance, war, some really interesting mix of fantasy and a little bit of scifi. Utawarerumono, mask of deception, and mask of truth will be ported to PC on Jan. 23, tho they have already been available in the west on ps4 for a couple of years. the two games are direct sequels of each other. Deception moves at a fairly slow pace, with a lot more slice of life moments than truth. It definitely has its high pace moments, but for the most part the game establishes the characters and the empire which the game takes place in. Truth, the sequel, builds off the set up from the first game, and goes full force. It also has more combat maps than deception, if memory serves. Is it anime as fuck, hell yeah. Is it epic as hell if you like anime and are okay with a slow paced, slice of life set up? hell yeah. Now, this a trilogy, and the two mask games are actually the 2nd and 3rd games. The first game will be releasing in the west for the first time in a remake called the Utawarerumono: Prelude to the fallen. It has a mid 2000 anime adaptation as well, if anyone's interested. This will be released for ps4 and pc. The release date is TBA but it's likely to be in early to mid 2020. There is also a full fan made eng patch for the original on pc. Prelude to the fallen happens in a different kingdom, under a different protagonist. But in game timeline wise it is contemporary to the mask games, and there is a direct relation to them. You can play the two mask w/o doing to prelude, there's no issue with that if you just want the two mask game's MC's story. Despite the amount of cute girls in the game its actually not a harem lol. You have a main female interest, and other female characters get matched off with with other male characters. Whether that's good or bad will depend on your tastes lol. Personally, I love the chemistry in the relationships whether they be friends or lovers. Mask of Deception: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tv8qY9wAI8 9) Arc of Alchemist (Jan 30) (PS4/Switch). I don't know how I feel about this game. It sounds like it could be interesting, but that gameplay has me hesitant. Its a post apocalyptic setting, action jrpg. The western release is a expanded version with a bunch of new playable characters, a better UI, and more stuff in your base camp. I think those are there to help you get exp faster? Its not exactly something I'm hyped about but who knows, it might have a unique charm that you have to play to feel for certain people. I'm keeping my eyes on it, maybe during a sale. Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auFS1zz1bWQ Well, that's it for January. Now, the next few months don't have a lot of confirmed releases, so we'll get thru them pretty quickly. After that tho, we will get to the TBA category, which is going to be a LOT of titles. Some of them are more than likely to release in 2020, some are mere rumors, and others, nothing more than a glimmer of hope (cough cough SMT V), but I've included them regardless. February
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics (Feb 4th) (PS4/Xbox One/Switch/PC). Some of you might remember this as that random srpg reveal in e3 2019. Well, we got a release date. The jury is still out on this one. It could be a solid srpg or it could just be a cheap imitation of a storied genre. I didn't find much detail on it overall.
E3 2019 trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx48r-xqVg4 2) Yakuza Remastered Collection (Feb 11) (PS4). Yes, I know. Me putting this here is asking for a jrpg genre debate once more. That being said, I'm trying to be inclusive as possible and I've seen people on this thread arguing that yakuza series are all jrpgs. This brings yakuza 3-5 remastered to the ps4, with all the cut content that were not available for the original ps3 releases in the west. They are not full remakes tho, so the games definitely show their age compared to the kiwami stuff. Yakuza: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6lT28S9zM8&t=9s 3) Kingdom hearts 3 DLC (Jan for ps4 and feb for xbox). Well, here we are again. From what i've read its more of a full expansion than a dlc. 13 bosses, a full story that occurs sometime before the final battle? extra episodes and some UI adjustments? also more difficulty mods? and new playable characters. Apparently kairi will be playable at least. March
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon (Switch) (March 6). Its pokemon.
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh9lNsUB4yY 2) Langrisser I & II (ps4/switch/pc). (March 10). Oh I'm hyped for this. I think this will be the first time langrisser 1 is getting a western release too. There was a fan patch attempt that never fully materialized. You can switch between the older and new artstyle. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahzjI9NeLTc 3) Nioh 2 (ps4) (March 14). It's Nioh. With character creation, and a few more gameplay additions. There was a demo. Its not open anymore but here's some footage. demo clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-A13OHXzK38 4) Fairy Tail (PC/PS4/Switch) (March 19-20). Honestly, for an anime game, this looks like it has actual effort put into it. It actually looks good. Shudders in tokyo ghoul tie in game, oh the horror. Any way, it seems to start at around the time skip in the original story, and has a few arcs from the anime plus an original story. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9TpEohmt7E 5) Persona 5 royale (March 31). Self explanatory. April
FF7 remake - Self explanatory
Trials of Mana (PC/PS4/Switch) (April 24) - i think this is also another case of an old game being localized for the first time. I quite like what i saw from the trailer. Seems like a good action jrpg.
Sword Art Online: Alicilization lycoris (May 22) (ps4/xbox one/switch/pc): All your waifus belong to me - kirito 2020. But honestly, again, the trailer actually looks kinda good. I am so on the fence for this. I didnt like hollow delux and fatal bullet but i had some mindless fun with holy song or whatever that one's called. I'm going to wait for a deep, deep steam sale, a few years from now.
trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJR_FJk1twc TBA - I'm just going to do a list here, definitely missed some titles, but the major projects in dev should be on here. Phantasy star online 2, Cold steel 3 switch and likely pc port, Cold steel 4 (ha i wish lol), SMT V (one should not lose hope after all), Sakura Wars, Azure lane Crosswave, rune factory 4 special, crystal chronicles remaster, banner of the maid, bravely default II, Cris Tales, CrossCode port to the consoles, Digimon Survive, Genshin Impact (not sure if this counts as a jrpg), is it wrong to pick up a girl in a dungeon - infinite combate, some more KH and yakuza ports to the xbone, tales of arise, tales of crestoria (mobile), xenoblade chronicle definitive edition, gran blue fantasy relink, rune factory 5, Unsung story (could be a sleeper hit or a mess, started by the creator of ff tactics and vagrant story, but it seemed to have had development issues), edge of eternity (an indie in early access but has constant updates and improves and have decent to good reviews in their later builds). Edit: Utawarerumono Prelude to the fallen is for PS4, PC and vita, not yet ps5 Edit: Yakuza 7 TBA

My Decade in Gaming: Scores, Reflections, and Final Thoughts
For the past several years I've kept a running list of the games I've played that year, along with scores and sometimes a brief description of my thoughts. I've combined those here with a retrospective on each year. Some games here I have no significant opinion of, but I at least spent the time to install and try them out. The only reason I was really able to buy and play so many games is because I rarely ever play anything current. I usually wait at least a couple of years after launch, and always wait for a sale. Still, seeing the sheer amount all together is kind of stunning, to me. After totaling purchases across Amazon, PSN, Nintendo eShop, Steam, and GOG, and factoring in $ made back from reselling, I can account for approximately $6000 spending on games, consoles, and accessories this decade. The vast majority of that spending was in 2014-2015, when I had a lot of free time, money, and not a lot of maturity. For the most part, the ratings here were made at the time; eg those 2014 ratings were my opinion in 2014. My opinions may have changed since.
(!) played to completion or significant number of hours. Score is an informed opinion (*) played for a few hours to just sample the game. Score is a first impression; opinion open to revision (-) played for a few hours, but will likely not revisit or change opinion (x) sold this game on ebay
2010-2012
From 2010 to 2013, as a busy college student, the only games I played significantly were Dark Souls, Minecraft, Deus Ex, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, Halo: Reach, and TloZ: Skyward Sword. Incidentally, most of those aforementioned games are still among the best I played this decade. I still play Minecraft regularly with my daughter, and Dungeon Crawl is usually one of the first things I install on a new Windows install. In several ways these games – notably, the first five I mentioned – changed the way I appreciate and think about game design, in terms of player choice, freedom, difficulty, immersion and storytelling. Dark Souls in particular was a once-in-a-generation experience, comparable to playing Ocarina of Time in the late 1990s, or to playing Resident Evil 4 in 2005. I played it basically back-to-back after Skyward Sword (a game I respected and enjoyed more than most), and that was truly a lesson in contrasts. In terms of purity of game design and compelling gameplay though, I probably could have stopped at Dungeon Crawl. No roguelike has come close, nor roguelite – except for one.
2013
During the first half of the year, I was still living with my parents and working part-time while finishing my degree. I had a little extra time on my hands, so this was the last year I spent any significant time with the Xbox 360 or the Wii. At the time I considered this as a sort of re-entry into console gaming after passing over much of the 360/Wii/PS3 gen, and completely over the DS/PSP. Enticed by the larger XL model, I bought a 3DS -- my first handheld console since the original model GBA. I put a LOT of time into RPGs this year. I would come home from work and play Dragon Quest, Pokemon, Monster Hunter, or Etrian Odyssey for months on end. Etrian Odyssey IV, by the way, was another definitive experience of this decade, for me, and one I probably wouldn't have looked into had I not played Crawl and Dark Souls. Now, I can't go back to most traditional JRPGs after experiencing a dungeon crawl that respects the player's time and intelligence. Xbox 360

2014
In 2014 I was single and working full-time on my own. I had money...and time...to spend. I started the year by picking up a PS3, my first-ever Sony console. I'd always wanted to experience exclusives like Ratchet & Clank, Jack & Daxter, Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, Killzone, Resistance, Motorstorm, Uncharted, Super Stardust, etc. Unfortunately, I just don't seem to enjoy Sony's exclusive franchises that much. Most of them were good, but few were truly great. My favorite games on PS3 were Dragon's Dogma, Uncharted 2, and Demon's Souls. I also don't like the Dualshock 3 – I'm more comfortable with a $20 off-brand controller that uses the "Xbox" layout. On PS3 I focused on games that were still exclusive to that console, though a lot have been ported to PC or current-gen systems since then. In retrospect, I probably could have passed on the whole thing. Then again, I still use the PS3 as a media player in the bedroom. Also on the Sony front, I picked up a Vita. Persona 4 Golden was easily my favorite game I played in 2014 and it's in my top 5 this decade. Beyond that, I didn't get as much mileage out of the Vita until much more recently...like, say, 2019. Later in the year, instead of going for a next-gen console, I built a gaming PC with a nice GTX 770 graphics card, which I'm still using today. I started picking up LOTS of last-gen games for $20 or so, and even more on GOG and Steam during sales for under $10. This was the only year I actually finished so many games that I made a separate category for games that I just picked up and dropped at some point. 360

2015
I really don't know how I played this many games in 2015, but it likely is because I no longer played most to completion. Instead I put a (!) if I played to the end or for a significant number of hours. I put an asterisk if I just tried the game out for an hour or two. I kept buying more games that I could keep up with on Steam, backlogging myself until the end of time. This was my last truly free summer spent doing absolutely nothing but gaming. That fall, I met my future wife and stepdaughter, so this was the last year I had truly excessive amounts of lonely nerd time. This is probably also the weakest year of the decade in terms of quality games I played. Favorites were A Link Between Worlds, Strange Journey, Danganronpa, and Torchlight 2, none of which are in my top 5 this decade at the time of writing. Though, I don't know why that Torchlight 2 rating is so low, considering it was probably my most-played game that year. I will say, Danganronpa was a significant experience in that it opened me up to the visual novel genre. I knocked out a couple of big gaps in my backlog via emulation. This was the year I began to realize that most of the cool cult jRPGs of the PSP don't actually grab me. Most of the Vita's exclusives didn't really do much for me either. I picked up a Wii U, the last console hardware I've bought this decade. For the record, Mario Maker was the game that convinced me to pull the plug. However, I was so turned off by the cheapness and annoyance of the tablet, and by the general blandness of Nintendo's first-party games that I've so far skipped the much-improved looking Switch. Right now, the Wii U sits mostly unused in my daughter's room. I revisited Terraria and Risk of Rain in 2019 and my opinion of those games went up pretty significantly, so do ignore those low scores. I dipped my toes into FTL, but it wouldn't suck me in completely for another year. Overall this was a year for quantity over quality. Finally, my longest and greatest shame: I've been playing Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold on-and-off since 12/27/2015. I've put in nearly 127 hours – this is far more than most players spend – and still have yet to come close to finishing. This game is like a goddamn ball and chain that I'll probably never be free of. Yet, I refuse to quit. SNES (via emulation)

2016
For some reason I felt compelled to write opinion blurbs for each individual game on this list, but this is long enough already so I deleted them. I think this is the point where I just started blitzing through my Steam backlog and if I didn't like a game within an hour or two, I set it into a category called "The Bin." I'm glade I paid very little for most of these, but at this point it's kind of embarrassing to see how much time and money I spent on so many games that I barely played. FTL was by far my favorite and most played game of 2016, and it's probably in my top 5 this decade. I first tried Overwatch on release, but it wouldn't really grab me for another year or so upon revisiting. PC

2017 I was really busy this year, so it's the one year I put any significant time into mobile gaming. Overcooked is my wife's favorite game, and we both enjoy Telltale's games (RIP). I originally tried The Walking Dead because I thought it would be a good game for us to play together. I mean, it WAS, but I'm surprised how much it gripped me on its own terms. I've never been a big TWD fan. At this point I really slowed down buying new games and started to play through my backlog for the most part. PC

2018 I played a lot of Minecraft this year; probably the most since 2011/2012. I continued plugging away at Etrian Odyssey Untold 2. I replayed RE4, my favorite game of the 2000s, for the first time in years. I'd dabbled in Overwatch before but this year it really hooked me. It's in my top 10 this decade for sure. Beyond that, Dark Souls 3, although my most-played game this year, kind of disappointed me. Old but played significant amounts:

2019
I've been wanting a Switch for like two years but just can't justify the purchase, so I finally dusted off that Vita and put some real money and time into it. As a result, I played a lot more indie games and roguelites this year. I gained more appreciation for games like Risk of Rain, Terraria, and Dungeon of the Endless. Somehow I dumped like 80 hours into Grim Dawn. I prefer the mechanics to Torchlight 2, but the endlessly bleak world and the slower, "heavier" animations make it slightly less inviting. One of the two games would be on a top-ten this decade but it's hard to choose. Walking Dead Season 4's conclusion is the closest I've ever been to crying at a game. Finally, I played more Overwatch.

Final Thoughts
I have several of games in my library that make me wonder why I bought them, aside from "people said good things" and "it was on sale." So...here's the thing: Playing a lot of games occasionally lets you discover an otherwise hidden gem, but typically...you know what you like. Even if everyone is hyping up something, your gut feeling is probably a better barometer. It's pretty rare that a game that generally reviewed as a 7/10 became a personal favorite, but it's also pretty common that a 9/10, beloved game fell flat or underwhelmed. On that note, organic hype is usually a better indicator of quality than review scores. Skyward Sword reviewed about as well as Dark Souls, but we know which one people are still talking about years later. Often I'd read about a game, get excited about the concept, and put it on my wishlist without doing something that I now recommend: watch a gameplay video first. On the bright side, revisiting a 7/10 a few years later, with fewer expectations and some existing understanding of the mechanics, can help you enjoy it more. And putting more hours into a game you're already familiar with is often more rewarding than starting a new one. Games tend to get richer and more interesting the more time you put into them. This is especially true of systems-based games, which don't always click on the first try.
Personal Habits and Changes
I played a good amount of Guild Wars 2, and can now safely say that I am done with the MMORPG genre. Dungeon Crawl taught me to appreciate challenge, variety, randomness, and complexity. I love that this was a decade of indie roguelites. I wasn't a fan of the Wii or Wii U, and I skipped the DS, but the 3DS really won me back over with its strong RPG library and first-party games. My only regret in skipping the PS4/Xbox One is, of course, no Bloodborne on PC. I discovered ARPGs, DRPGs, roguelikes, roguelites, visual novels, and I even dabbled in point-and-click adventure games. I even played a good FMV game, a sentence I never thought I would write. Esports, Twitch, and watching Let's Plays mostly continue to elude me, though I enjoy casually playing competitive games online.
Top 10
This was not an easy list to make. I've probably made and remade it five times. Leaving out games that I played over 100 hours, such as Smash Bros 3DS and Counter-Strike, was a tough choice. I could easily make this into a top 20.
